Thanks to Dennis and Laurent for suggesting OnyX. I installed it last night and ran nearly everything there was to run, and it made a TREMENDOUS difference! Web sites open very quickly (I was beginning to think I was back on dial-up). iPhoto's response to keystrokes has noticably improved

Your new PowerBook or iBook won't care whether it is talking to a base station, a Sawtooth pretending to be a base station, or the T-Mobile connection at your local Starbucks. An 802.11 signal is the same as any other, the only variances being speed (a, b, g etc) and range, which depends on the

If it's a current generation 15 Powerbook, and it came with 10.3.3, there's your answer. It needs at least 10.3.3 to boot. That's the version that should be on the install CDs that came with the Powerbook. -Hal On Dec 12, 2004, at 7:38 AM, bobgir2004 wrote: This is just a wild-assed guess but:
